Some standard Medicare Supplement policies include which benefit?

• A. Dental coverage
• B. Vision coverage
• C. Hospice care
• D. Hearing aids

Answer: (C)

Medicare Supplements are designed to pick up the costs Original Medicare doesn’t fully cover, like certain coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles. Hospice care is a Medicare benefit under Part A, and it often involves cost-sharing. Some standard Medigap plans include coverage for that Part A hospice coinsurance, so you’d have less out-of-pocket when hospice services are needed. That’s why hospice care is the benefit you’ll see included in some of these plans. By contrast, routine dental, vision, and hearing benefits aren’t part of standard Medigap coverage, since those services aren’t covered by Original Medicare.
